FIGHTS WITH MAD DOG.

Father Keeps Rabid Animal from Biting His Little Daughter. Lawrenceburg, Ind., Dec. 1. A large shepherd dog belonging to Joseph T. Hayes, went through the «> streets Sunday biting every dog it could catch and attempted to bite several,persons who escaped. Chief of Police Henry Snyder, a force of patrolmen and nearly 100 citizens, armed with guns, revolvers and dubs, chased the mad dog through the cornfields for several hours before it was killed. The dog attacked Bruce McCleaster and his little daughter. When it leaped at the little girl the father attempted to drive it off with a heavy walking stick. A fight followed and the dog was getting the *"best of it when Edward Truitt fired the contents of a double-barreled

shotgun into the animal’s body. Several of the shot struck Mr. McCleaster and the little girl, but instated only slight injuries.

TWO ESCAPE; ONE CAUGHT.

Third Prisoner Refuses to Leave County Jail. Peru, Ind., Dec. 1. —George Bowerman and Henry Holtz escaped from the county jail about 5 o'clock last evening by removing bricks from beneath a window in the corridor on the second floor of the building. Holtz was caught at Rich Valley, nine miles east of here. He assumes all the blame for the delivery and says he never saw Bowerman after they left the jaiL The prisoners had received permission to use the corridor for ex-1 ercise and to clean it. They broke an iron bar from one of the doors and with it they made an eighteeninch hole in the sixteen-inch wall. They crawled out after dark and dropped twenty feet to the ground Their escape' was not discovered until an hour later, when the jailer went to feed the prisoners. The sheriff notified persons throughout the county and officers in adjoining counties. The prisoners were in jail charged with larceny. One other prisoner refused to leave, as he regarded six months in jail better than an uncertain living outside. He had been placed in jail on' the charge of intoxication and disorderly conduct.
